They do if you compare them to the wheels on the truck. I think it's the height of the sidewall on the tires that make the wheels seem smaller.

As far as the wheels go...to each his own.

No disrespect or anything, but those are by far the ugliest wheels I have ever seen. Plus the sidewall on those tires is ridiculous for a 17" wheel on a sports car....Your speedo must be off a ton!
But if you like them, thats all that matters

Eh. I guess it matters what you think about them and only you. right? I would have gone with a more sporty look, not all chromed out. Helo's are for show IMO.

Somebody at my school had the same ones, but they were 20's...on a neon. They are Helos right? I was about to put some on my old car but i found some other ones i liked better. A wheel is a wheel though, right? As long as it rolls its good enough.
